First the “Dr.” is a nom de plume. Second, thank God for little favors – Rolaids being one. I understand how emotions can interfere with judgement. I was once influenced in such a manner. It was back in the 80’s I think. Since then I have become the posterchild for moderation and a peaceful heart – more or less.

No. Participating in an abortion makes you a killer.

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 17:06:56 +0000http://sheriareid.wordpress.com/?p=139#comment-447Teachers who have been unwilling to teach morality in school are just as much a part of the problem as parents who refuse to do the same.
There are real consequenses to people’s lives for being politically correct. I saw them every day for 25 years. Young people who were not taught right from wrong are not adequately prepared to face the real world decision making environment.

People commit crimes for two reasons. 1. A sense of entitlement and 2. A belief they can get away with it. Inappropriate personal sexual behavior is looked upon in the same manner. Failure to teach children about personal responsibility can be laid at the foot of every teacher whether he or she is a parent or professional teacher.

One last thing. Making policy to fit the infrequent occurance results in political correctness.

Wed, 17 Sep 2008 14:32:07 +0000http://sheriareid.wordpress.com/?p=139#comment-446I’m sorry, but where in my previous post did I indicate that I “deny the sociology and psychological effects” of any aspect of teenage sexuality? Or that I “only taught the science of what is happening and not the behavior”? That is absurd.

I always taught that abstinence was the best policy since it was the only foolproof method of birth control and STD prevention. But I was wise enough to realize that stopping there was foolish. I distinctly remember a day in the midst of a series of classes I had been teaching about sex and reproduction, when I instructed students to clear their desks except for a blank sheet of paper. Then I instructed them to close their eyes for at least five minutes and think about the letter they would write on that piece of paper after learning that they, or their boy/girlfriend, brother, mother, etc. had AIDS.

I watched a roomful of faces with eyes closed, some quietly crying as they wrestled with the fallout from being sexually active. I have not forgotten it.

And as for saying that my choosing to allow that fourteen year-old to continue her life without the burden of motherhood makes me equivalent to a slave owner…. I hope that comment would have part of what you wish you had edited out.
